Trump pointedly discounted one major part of both stories.
in an attempt to portray abortion as murder. On live TV, Trump directed the nation’s attention to an actual toddler to do it.
By using the tale of a surely terrifying premature birth to stoke fear about abortions later in pregnancy—which are often performed under—Trump pointedly discounted one major part of both stories: the lives and desires of the women involved. No one wants to give birth at 22 weeks. When a baby is born that early, it’s more often a tragedy than a miracle;do not survive. Premature childbirth is a bout of misfortune. Abortion, by contrast, is a choice.
The Schneiders’ home state of Missouri is one of several that have been emboldened by Trump and the justices he’s installed on the Supreme Court to pass unconstitutional laws that ban abortion before fetal viability. Banning abortion wouldn’t do anything to help premature infants survive, but it would make it harder for women to govern their own lives—to decide when, whether, and how to become parents.
It’s wonderful when parents like Robin, who have to watch their infants suffer through months of touch-and-go neonatal care, can ultimately see their children grow and thrive. Many of those parents will also need an abortion at some point in their lives. It’s hard to argue that being pro-choice is anti-toddler when
of women who get abortions are mothers. People who know what it’s like to worry over an infant’s health and people who need abortion care aren’t fighting against each other. Often, they’re one and the same.Readers like you make our work possible. Help us continue to provide the reporting, commentary, and criticism you won’t find anywhere else.
